In the lull week between Project Quilting prompts, I decided to pull out one of my WIPs and make some progress. I drug my feet getting started on Monday, but I did clean my machine, change the needle, put on my walking foot, and get it threaded and ready for Tuesday. I decided to start with Frost Filigree, because...

I'm really interested in getting your input today on how you differentiate between a Work in Progress (WIP) and Unfinished Object (UFO). I'll share my thoughts here in the post, and let me know how you view the difference in the comments. These community discussions usually create really rich and interesting comments, so be sure to take the time...

I am currently working on a lot of different "secret sewing" projects, which is both exciting and frustrating. I definitely look forward to being able to share details about these projects when I can (stay tuned for more about some on Friday), but it's frustrating because I have less that I can share and talk about in the mean...

Sue O'very (Sue O'very Designs) is the designer for the November Aurifil block, The Fort. As I am down to wanting to use only orange or purple with my blocks for the year, I spent a lot of time wavering back and forth on my fabric selection. In the end I decided to go with purple because Sue has been...

Sheri Cifaldi-Morrill (Whole Circle Studio) is the designer of the October Aurifil block, Central Park, and I spent quite a bit of time debating if I could add another green block to my collection. Since the block is inspired by Central Park in New York City, I decided it clearly had to be green. I took the block out to the park...

Sharon Holland is the designer of the September Aurifil block, Big Apple, and I was excited that I had not yet used red in my rainbow color order progression! I modified the pattern very slightly to keep the background white to black stripes continuous. Instead of using a 2 1/2" square for the bottom outer edges of the background behind the...

Rebecca Bryan from Bryan House Quilts is the designer of the August Aurifil block, Rooftops of Amsterdam, and I loved Rebecca's suggestion to use the pop of color in the block for some fussy cutting. I don't tend to have a lot of novelty prints in my stash, so I pondered what to use there for a while. And then...

Sherri from A Quilting Life is the designer of the July Aurifil block, the Beach Houses block, and while I think her teal colors for the block are perfect for the beach, I already had a teal block in my grouping which is turning into a rainbow. As I was pondering what color to use for the block last week,...

When my oldest niece was about 3 years old, she and I were playing together and one of the phrases she used a lot at the time was, "This is this and that is that." As I was trying to come up with a name for this post, that memory popped to mind and I thought that a little...

Kerry from Kid Giddy is the designer of the June Aurifil block, the Tonga Block, and I could not wait to sew this one together! Kerry's block is inspired by Tonga and depicts a sea turtle. As you probably saw earlier this year through my Deep Dive mini quilt, my husband and I really love sea turtles. I waited...

Minki Kim is the designer of the May Aurifil block, the Santa Barbara Tile Block, and I have to admit I was a bit stumped when I first saw the block. So far I had used black, white, and the suggested color by the designer. But Minki's suggestion of yellow would make the second yellow block for the year......

Visit the Auribuzz blog for all the details on the Libson Tile Block. So far I have been sticking with the suggested color placement and colors...

Visit the Auribuzz blog for all the details on the Birch Ball block. I selected and prepped my fabric for the block just before packing to go to QuiltCon...

One thing I forgot to mention about my time at Quilt Festival: I bought a new sewing machine. My new Juki TL-2200QVP Mini arrived on Saturday, and after getting it set up, I took my time and sewed together my Meadow Mystery quilt blocks for November as the first real block sewing on my new machine! The flying geese and...

Chakra Mini Quilt WIP

I made pretty good progress on quilting the Chakra Mini Quilt over the weekend, and I thought I'd share a bit more about the "in progress" portion of quilting these detailed chakra / medallions. I am using my domestic machine, Olive (a Bernina 820), and I have 12wt Aurifil in the bobbin and 50wt on the top. I went...

I’m Only Human…

Exhibit A As much as I would love to work through my Work in Progress list without adding anything else to it... the reality is that I've added 3 things to my list lately. 1. I'll be quilting another quilt for a local quilter so that she can hopefully have it ready to gift in time for Christmas. 2. Remember when I...

On Monday I was able to start cutting and sewing with the fun airplane print inspired fabric selection for a commissioned baby quilt. I am reprising the Flight Path baby quilt pattern from earlier this summer, and this time I am calling the quilt Ready, Set, Fly. To go from fabric to a pieced 42.5-inch square quilt top has taken...

As a quilter who likes to stay on top of my commitments and "to-do" list, it feels like a long time, but Jess @Quilty Habit released the instructions for piecing the small stars in the Star Light Star Dark QAL last Monday, August 8th. Thankfully the schedule has a bit of breathing room built into it, and I am...

Engineering & Artistic Fusion
Vibrant | Geometric | Modern

Yvonne is a technical writer in the aerospace industry by day and a modern quilter and quilt pattern designer by night. She was introduced to quilting by her paternal grandmother in high school when her grandmother offered to hand quilt a twin-size quilt to use in her college dorm room if Yvonne made the quilt top. Yvonne has developed a style that bridges her technical background and love of color, specializing in curves, transparency color play, and bold, geometric designs. Her award winning quilts, which have been featured in numerous national and international magazines, quilt shows, and books, often incorporate the quilting plan as a key design element, and she quilts her quilts on her domestic Juki sewing machine.
